3FL Notes: S11: Week 7 Preview

The torrid start to our season couldn't continue forever. We just witnessed our lowest scoring week of the year, but it may have been the one with the most drama. Two MNF comebacks headlined quite a competitive end of the first round of intra-divisional games.

Predacons (-1/2) vs. Dumbbums
Don't let their records fool you - this one will be a lot more competitive than it looks. The matchups favor the 'Bums and all signs point to a prime time comeback for Coach Coaldog's squad. But, we've said that before...

Spiked Vipers (-2) vs. Renegades
After two straight convincing wins the newlyweds run into a heap of bye week trouble this week. As in six players without games, including Tom Brady. Sorry, but it won't be pretty. Aaron Rodgers might beat them himself.

Misfits, Inc. (-1/2) vs. Yuengling Brewers
The Brew Crew picked all six 3FL games correctly and then stormed back to a win with just over four minutes left in the Monday night game. Not too shabby. And they get a handcuffed FitzCorp team (who before the waiver deadline had seven employees on a bye) this week. But still...

ray ray haw (-1) vs. The Comfy Chair
Man, this week seven bye schedule is killing everyone. The Chair is also sitting six this week because of the bye. Ouch. And Philip Rivers is back for Coach haw, so they won't again see -6 as the total for the QB spot.

Baltimorons (-1/2) vs. Marauders
OK, I lied. The 'Morons don't have a single player on a bye this week. After a couple of consecutive games being the top scoring team in the league, Coach Drew scored the least points last week. But they still remain third in total points for the season. Right behind the Marauders.

And the game of the week...

Lightning (-1/2) vs. Stiletto Stompers
It's been a disappointing campaign for the 'Bolts so far in 2011 and another loss might all but put them out of the playoff picture. The Stompers look to do just that and perhaps it's time for them to be on the right side of a MNF comeback for once. But maybe not.
